Ross welcomes Glenn Jacobs (Kane) to the show.
Jacobs informs that he’s currently running to become the Mayor of Knox County, Tennessee. At 50 years old, he realized over the last few years that he was in the twilight of his in-ring career and he knew he’d soon have to transition out of the in-ring side of the wrestling business. If he’s successful in his Mayoral pursuit, he admits that he’d have to cut back drastically on his WWE appearances because this Mayoral gig is a full-time job.
He thanks Ross for helping him get his start in the wrestling business many years ago and Ross says that he was so easy to deal with from a talent relations perspective. He says that Jacobs is a credit to the business, and when a booker gets an opportunity to hire a performer with the character and integrity of Glenn Jacobs, that’s a dream come true.
Ross mentions that Jacobs had to deal with some pretty difficult things creatively early on in his career such as the evil dentist gimmick. Jacobs admits that he wasn’t having a lot of fun during that time and he simply wasn’t into that gimmick, which was definitely easy for fans to see. He points out that sometimes you just have to try different things and wait for something to work, and that’s exactly what happened when he found ‘Kane’.
